Description

On this 10 day adventure you will have the chance to explore and enjoy the amazing Chigmit mountains in Alaska. Part of the Aleutian mountain range, the Chigmit mountains are an impressive collection of volcanic peaks. They are a wonder to gaze at, and an even more impressive set of peaks to ski through, which you will have ample opportunity to do on this trip.

We will be staying in a high, centralised camp. Thus giving you the chance to explore and ski any of the many different descents without having to spend too much time searching for the right spots, while also enjoying some tremendous views of the landscape.

There are also a number of amazing peaks you can ascend and even ski down as well. One of those peaks includes IIiamna (3,053m), which presents a challenging climb, but an absolutely unforgettable descent, weather permitting, of course. There is also Mount Redoubt (3,108m) to consider as well. Both of these majestic volcanoes are active, and on clear days you can see plumes of steam rising from their summits.

Along with the volcanoes, there are also several glaciers you can not only see, but ski through as well. Furthermore, you will have an array of forests and wide open spaces to choose from. However, due to the isolated nature of the chigmit mountains, the terrain is very wild, and as a result can be difficult. Hence why participants on this trip should have plenty of previous ski touring experience and be in good physical condition.

The Chigmit mountains are a truly amazing place, and the skiing to be found there is some of the best in the entire state of Alaska. To see for yourself, all you have to do is send us a request.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
